Overview

Set in sprawling grounds in the leafy Constantia wine valley, The Alphen has a storied history going back centuries that includes running the oldest mill in Cape Town and offering accommodation to famous author Mark Twain and swashbuckling Captain Cook. Today the Dower House and Mill Range make up a refined boutique hotel and spa for guests who want to have access to all Cape Town’s sites but stay in a quiet neighbourhood also known for its paddocks and horse stables.

Rooms are airy with quiet tones to provide peaceful havens after busy days out. The Alphen has several restaurants with occasional live music events. For true pampering, select your preferred options on the extensive pillow and duvet menu before you arrive!
